Paternal Line, 2

On my father’s side, the DNA markers show alignment with Haplogroup R1b, a Western European lineage that is now the most prevalent Haplogroup worldwide. Estimates are that more than half of males in Western Europe carry this marker (e.g., perhaps 100% in western Ireland, 90% in some parts of Spain, 70% in southern Britain, up to 50% in Danish populations, 30% in Norway, and 33% in Portugal). Because Europeans settled much of the world, no surprise that R1b can be found in high frequencies in North and South American and in Australian populations. These are my paternal markers. Again, I’m not certain what these really mean yet, but they might look familiar to some of you who are more knowledgeable in this area.
